The Tom Bevill Lock and Dam, formerly named Aliceville Lock and Dam and "Memphis Lock and Dam",[1] is one of four lock and dam structures on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway that generally lie along the original course of the Tombigbee River. It is located near Aliceville, Alabama and impounds Aliceville Lake. It is named for Tom Bevill, a proponent of the Tenn-Tom.[2][3]
